Paranoia and Emetophobia.

If you don’t know what Emetophobia is, it is the fear of being sick. Basically my problem is that I am honestly terrified of eating anything that could result me in throwing up, so (due to my paranoia) I had to ask, can sweets, like marshmallows and winegums - which contain pork, be undercooked and result in me getting food poisoning? I know if I am sounding paranoid, but I have eaten some sweets and now I’m literally going mad!

Thanks for your help.

If you’re afraid of getting sick, you’re going to make yourself sick worrying about this. Leave it alone and move on. Don’t even think about it. If you keep worrying about it, the only thing you’re going to do is wishing sickness upon yourself and it shall be.

Think about the thing you want and NOT about the things you don’t want!

hey,
dont worry about it. there is the TINIEST CHANCE (i have just asked a doctor for you) that these sweets are going to make you sick. infact, he said that there isnt a chance.
if you worry so much, you could give yourself a stomach ulcer. you dont want this.
i hope this has helped.
